In conclusion, Nessa, the head of the Elken tribe and head of the Seven Tusks, and his escort pans were mostly for the purpose of visiting Gwandan as expected.

Gwandan would have been less willing to listen to the refugees of the last settlement who had arrived in Elkenay safely, without any falsity in their words and intent on their arrangements.

The situation of the Seven Tusks should never be affordable, but Nessa does not seem to be in a hurry and walks among the refugees who have already greeted them, besides the people of the final settlement. He listened to his words and anxiety one by one.

Dropping off more than 500 people of the Fourth Battalion of the Knight Lotus Knights must have significant implications for those anticipating a massive battle with the Romar Empire soon.

By the way, when Nessa and others visited Gwandan, who had looked around the refugee parcels, the evening was already approaching, and the smoke of boiling was rising.

For Nessa, who heads the Seven Clans, including the Elkens, time is much more valuable than jewelry, but it would still be acceptable if spent on contact with the Gwandans.

Nessa and Pance approached Gwandan when he was trying to settle the refugees with a golem description, use, and preparation, and help him prepare the dinner material.

The gentle voice of mothers and families who cry to the cry of babies, the voice of those who are hooked by pain and heat, the voice that says that they are hungry, the sound of cracking firewood, the sound of cutting food, the small sound of sparks of sparks, At last, the crowd of people who bite the joy of wearing a safe place.

Gwandan and Nessa faced each other in such a sound.

"Can I talk now?"

Gwandan responds to Nessa with a cheerful smile by returning a bundle of firewood.

His smile, as a chieftain and as a key player in the rebels, did not feel tired, as he would be under the pressure of the tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people to live. Gwandan was honestly impressed as a strong woman.

"Oh, if it's not too long. Your time will be more valuable than me."

"I didn't think I was caring. I see. If I've been here long enough, people here won't have time to rest.

White dragon scale husband. The story of your rampage against the Romar Empire in the plains a little further away has reached our ears. So I came here to ask for help, but let's make time for a proper story again. ''

"Well, I'm not talking about that. Thank you for your consideration. Now I'm hired, can I take my employer and co-worker and talk to me?

"Oh, this is the side you want to invite. I don't mind at all. I didn't know you were hired. I'll make it convenient for you to come tomorrow afternoon.

"I understand, but I'm sorry but I don't think I can meet my expectations very much."

"You didn't expect it in the first place. If you're counting on good luck, you can't do your life. If you're refused, you can't help but refuse. You don't have to think too heavily. Then I was disturbed. ''

From time to time, the escort Pance passed silently, but did not look away from Gwandan for a moment.

A warrior who trained for the day of raising the Romal Empire's rebel smoke, instinctively understood that the Dragonian in front of him was a monster who could not win even if he challenged himself with all the seven tusk warriors including himself. Was.

You may have been seriously anxious, not louder, that Dragonian, who speaks intelligently, would once strip his tusks, and that all rebels, not just Elkenay, would break down.

Gwandan waited for their backs to disappear from view and muttered his usual habit.

Just like the Romar Empire split in two, the rebels who bowed to the Romar Empire are by no means monoliths, and their affairs have split into several factions.

The seven tusks, including the Elken, are tightly united and cooperate well with other rebels, but the rebellion is particularly good in the south, where the friction is deeper and the distance from the battlefield with the Romal Empire is good. A disputed situation in which powers are having trouble.

Eventually, we need to check the current situation of the powers that are doing the trouble ...

"Are you the best opponent to contact first?"

Muttering that, Gwandan returns to help with the preparation.

Within a few hours, Amria, who flew around the refugees, returned, and Yachiyos, who had been talking to the adventurers they knew, came back with a smile.

From Yachiyo, we began to talk about the adventurers we knew were safe, and we were able to get up-to-date information on the situation from leaving Elkenay to today.

I replaced the carriage that I had been riding since entering the Romar Empire, and finished dinner with the food provided by Elkenay, which was cooked with vegetables and millet porridge, and smoked and baked river fish, and then I just went to bed. Gwandan started talking when he was.

In the light of the star shining as it is in the distant world, such as the light of the lamp placed in the center of the seven and the struggle of humans, the three sisters who finished cleaning up the dishes, satisfied with the swollen stomach The dogs and dogs stroking the stomach and Amria listens to Gwandan's voice with a slight shadow of sorrow.

"Everyone has a story. When the Elken patriarch Elken as Nessa came to say hello, he told me I had a story."

"While some of them are going to listen to the story in the old days, it's such a thing.

"I mean, when the bee and me were both caught buying, the woman in another prison was Nessa-dono. I mean……"

"What kind of story does such Onin tell Gwandan ...

Yachiyo, who has a loose or loose mindset, is not so dull as to tell the story of Gwandan.

"If I wasn't calm when I was invited to talk, I told the other side that I would like to talk with you after tomorrow afternoon.

I'm really sorry for you afterwards. However, I think that the revolting side is also an opportunity to talk to leaders. The most likely story is that most likely, we will join her.

Although we talked for a short time, even if we declined or didn't go to listen, we weren't mijin who would imitate us. Ana, I leave it to you. ''

Amria has no doubt about Gwandan's reputation. Someone who claims to be from the Arkrest kingdom, but who knows something else by playing the unknown Amria, and above all, Amria truly trusts Gwandan and thus Doran.

"I understand. If I'm a leader of the Seven Tusks, I'd love to hear from you. I would like to know the thoughts, ideals, and reality of Nessa."

"That's the will. There's no harm there. There's nothing to be afraid of, so don't let Gandeus and Kirlinne do that. Don't expect them to be rampage. I guess? "

To Gwandan's point, let's refrain from honoring the two who have been silent until now. However, add that Lynette held his head as if he had a headache.

The following morning, he continued to work in the morning to finish his afternoon work, and after a quick lunch, Gwandan and his colleagues turned to the former governor's office.

Only a few months ago, the building, which was a symbol of the Romal Empire's rule of Elkenei, has now changed its form as the home of the Seven Tusks, and the soldiers guarding the restored main gate are also men and women of the Elken tribe, It has been changed to a heterogeneous family such as insects

The surrounding area of the former governor's office, the last fortress inside Herkenei, is filled with some of the tense air in Elkenay because of the awareness that there will be a decisive battle with the Romar Empire nearby.

Separation of the refugees and the non-combatant quarters from the former Governor-General may also be a consideration in order to prevent excessive anxiety due to such tensions in the battlefield.

Looking up at the former governor's office, where all the flags and coats of arms of the Romar Empire were changed to those of seven tusks, Gwandan, along with Dramina, Serina, and Diadora, missed that she helped capture the governor's office so that it could not be seen by anyone. Felt.

He told the gatekeepers about his promise to Nessa yesterday, and he went straight through. Having the weapons in place would have helped to lower the other party's vigilance.

In the former governor's office, people move quickly to check and arrange supplies and personnel before the battle, and it makes them feel that the battle is near.

All the squadrons that had hitherto sporadically hit the supply line on the Lomal Empire side returned, and the seven tusk sides, which have finished re-arranging their positions, pay close attention to the movement of the Carplau Castle, the base of the Lomal Empire. Seems to be paying.

It has not yet been reported that Berginten, who had left Carplau Castle, returned to the castle after encountering the black iron dragon Quinnfin near the final settlement.

Considering the distance between Carplau Castle and Elkenay, and also the time it takes Berginten to return to Carplau Castle, it's not strange.

Nessa and Pance were waiting in the office of a former governor. The seven and two faced each other in a room where the interior was changed from Lomal Empire style to folk art of each clan belonging to the seven tusks.

"I'm sorry to have you come. I'm Elken as Nessa, I'm the representative here again. This is an escort buns. I saw someone yesterday even if I didn't talk. Isn't there? "

Nessa sits on a chair in the office and pans behind. On the other hand, the sofa on the other side of Nessa was across the table with Amria in the middle, Gwandan on the right and Yachiyo on the left.

The remaining four are seated around a table, seated in a two-seat chair with Lynette and Gandeus, Fuka and Kirlinne.

Assuming an assault from the outside, the office with no windows has an exciting scent of peppermint tea.

"Time is precious at this time, but I would like to thank you for letting me go through this selfishness. This is my escort Anna, and my colleague Yachiyo, the wind Incense, Torune, Gandeus, Kirrinne.

"Okay, that was the condition to get the story heard. I remember both the dog man and the fox man. I caught a buyer and saw him in the prison. Yeah, I was caught in the same way. "

The biggest difference is that Yachiyo and Fuka were caught unexpectedly, and Nessa was deliberately caught as a decoy in order to make the purchase of people a whole line.

Yachiyo and Fuka who were caught by buying people were rescued by Doran, but at that time, trying to escape from restraint, I remembered the foolery that pointed to Doran with a spread stride, Fuka was alone Was blushing.

"They weren't in Elkenay yet, they went out and came back, right? Now she's your escort. I'm back and forth in Romar. Are you? "

"That's one of the escort contracts, following her wishes. I myself have determined that it's meaningful for her to know what's inside the empire today."

"That's right, you have to talk not only to yourself, but also to Anna. It's not a difficult story. Just drink tea and listen."

In accordance with Nessa's recommendation, she puts a mouth on the tea, which is a complex mixture of the refreshing taste of mint and the spice-based stimulus, and shows a reaction that suits or does not fit each other, and then Nessa tightens her expression and focuses on her main subject enter.

"It's easy to talk about. I want to borrow the power of the Gwandans, who dismissed the members of the Roman Knights of the Black Knights. I can't say I'll fight with you all the time. Until the battle against the Imperial Army gathered at Carplau Castle is over, I would be grateful if you could help me.

The reward will do as much as possible. But I can't promise anything I can't do. I'm sorry to ask, but I'll make it clear. ''

"That's exactly what I thought. Isn't the situation going good?"

This is information that I would like to hear from the parties, not only for Gwandan individuals but also for the Arkrest Kingdom. Even if you don't give details to someone who may not be an ally yet, it won't hurt to know how Nessa perceives it.

Nessa seemed to have exchanged glances with the escort Pance only once, drawing out what she could talk about and what she didn't.

"The army that gathered at Kaplau Castle is roughly 100,000. We will leave 10,000 in preparation, but in the decisive battle it will be against 90,000 or so. There is a total general However, the next command system is side by side, and it is not possible to unify it.

This is roughly 50,000. If you flee the evacuated people and the non-combatants once and settle in Elkenay, you're not an opponent who can't fight off. ''

Hm, Gwandan has one habit. He dared to say his views, including the meaning to pass on to Amria and Yachiyo.

`` If you consider the quality of soldiers and equipment at Carplau Castle based on the 4th Battalion of the Knights of the Knights, if you have morale and defense of Elkenay, if the inside is monolithic and there is no insider, I'm Nessa It's the same view as the patriarch. You have enough chances against the Romal Empire, and ...

"in addition?"

"The Romans are unlikely to have reinforcements, and they are in a hurry. There are more opportunities than you might think."

"Well, that's a shame if it's true, but why are they saying they're impatient? I'm worried, including why you know it."

"Now, Merle the Arkwich is near the border between the Romar Empire and the Arkrest Kingdom. Nominally interacting with other wizards, but it is obvious that it is a check or silent pressure on the Romar Empire It is.

If Merle moves, the best solution is to hit a number of twelve generals rather than just preparing a human army in ten thousand units, but as long as the twelve generals are split into two, it is easier Can not move.

Should Merle invade the Romar Empire, they would have to fight with the army. Prolonging the battle with you or reducing the number of soldiers is a matter of life and death for the Romal Empire. ''

"The Great Witch Merle ... I know only the name and reputation, but it's an incredible superman that just changing your location will have an effect on it."

Anyone who has not watched the Battle of Merle directly would agree with Nessa.

For example, it is strange that actual values such as non-standards that affect the war territory only with pure armed force, rather than one individual affecting the war territory due to the political value of being a prince or a reigning minister, for example.

The Twelve Wing Generals of the Romal Empire can also play a tactical role on a local battlefield, but Merle has reached a higher territory.

"Merle is unlikely to break into this area, but the Romal Empire must always be suspicious of it and keep on preparing. It has to move before it is ready. Maybe you have the option to compete in the meantime? "

"It's a fascinating offer. It's good for this castle, but it's not enough to knock down that castle. Will you have to invite the opponent somehow? Did you hear that story? "

"Well, whether you lose the temptation or use it as an opportunity depends on your courage and wisdom. It may be irresponsible. In terms of help, to be honest, I like killers.

Even more so if it is a war. Not even I was born in Romar. The situation in this area has nothing to do with me. However, I am grateful for her purpose and for her generosity to accept the final settlement.

I don't intend to take part directly in the line, but I'll take the role of a decoy who will separate the army led by a noble from the army gathered at Carplau Castle. ''

"! Is this the Count of Berginten? Surely, the battalion led by her daughter is insane and crazy or confused, but not only did he destroy the battalion but there were other tricks. Were you? "

"The woman Aderid only receives the rewards of her actions from alive.

That's because the balance of merit and guilt has lived in such a way that it leans toward the guilty side. I just gave me the opportunity to weigh on the balance.

Still, as a father, I'm still an abominable enemy tormenting my daughter. I run my army just to defeat me.

At the end of the decisive battle, we will have more shackles under our own weight, so we may have to prepare a reason here to make excuses to other nobles. ''

No matter how much everything is working together, even if Count Count Berginten is bloody, such as suddenly acting on its own, the surroundings will not allow it.

Nessa seemed to have decided immediately that she deserved to help Gwandan, who had pushed the back of Count Berginten and said that it needed to create a situation that would allow others to accept it bitterly.

"Well, it's quite easy to stake your life. Is it so cheap, your life?"

"No way. There's so much more I want to live, but it's not a bargain of my life. Conversely, Nessa. My life is not cheap enough to buy Count Berginten and his army. So you can make a stake. ''

"Well, I've seen a lot of ways to sell myself high, but it's the first time I've sold that high. It would be 10,000 if I had the army of Count Berginten. Are you saying that you understand that? "

"Oh, I know. If 10,000 soldiers are gone from there, I guess your winning rate will be much higher."

"Well, that's right, but what do you think? I came to talk with you to get help, but I came back with more than I thought, and I'm in trouble."

The possibility of not having to deal with Count Berginten's army was terribly appealing, and offered a dazzling gem to Nessa. It feels much more valuable than adding Gwandan to the line.

However, if you knew Gwandan's identity, or if you knew that the old dragon would accept his request without having to go that far, Gwandan's personal force would be better than separating 10,000 enemy troops Would have asked for a mentor.

"You can choose whichever you like. I don't care, but I'd be glad if I could talk to Ana a bit."

"It's a big deal. It's much better than being a Dragonian than seeking gold and silver treasure like a dragon. Is that what Ana wants to ask you?"

Anna, given the story of Gwandan, was nervous about the fact that he was facing the highest and most influential person since entering the empire, but never shrugged. It didn't seem to be there.

Throughout the days of the last settlement, her resolve was strengthened by the blood and death she had seen, and her spirit was tougher by listening to the grief of pain and sorrow.

"Yes. I only know about the war that is taking place in the Romal Empire today, so I want to know. Those who have ruled as the empire and trying to escape from the yoke of their rule The thoughts and realities of those who are "

"Well, it's like the Romar people from the face, but it's rare for people to think like you, but I like that.

On the other hand, my side has been terrible so far, so some people interpret it as twisting this way, so it's okay to make this look terrible.

It's much better than a guy who just hate it and stops thinking and doesn't go any further. If I have more time, I want to talk to you overnight. ''

"Thank you. I still know that the empire is split between the princess and the Grand Duke, and they are fighting each other for the next emperor's seat. It's still too obvious that you're trying to take control of the empire in battle because it's too different.

I'd like you not to be offended, but the people who turned the flag were in a similar situation, they should have held hands, and now they seem to be acting apart Can be

If we were acting as a unity, it would be obvious to me that the war situation was worse on the Imperial side. Why didn't it? "

Amria's words, which he was told as a pure question with no implications, not only Nessa, but also Pance, who had been maintaining iron skin and muteness, frowned at the pain.

In fact, it's a problem that almost everyone who participates in the Seven Tusks, not just Nessa and Pance, has grief and anger.

"It's embarrassing and lamentable when you say it, but it's a lot complicated, but it's a shame of your relatives, a mistake of your ancestors, well, I'll talk about it in a nutshell. The original story was before the Roman Empire was still completed Go back to

At that time, it was a story about when it was not known that it was the letter L of the Romal Empire. At that time, the land around here was still far from the word of unification, and it was chaotic to fight and coexist with various ethnic groups.

`` Some of them were fighting eagerly to become kings, splitting up with those enemies and allies, dominating and dominating, and so on all the time. ''

Before the establishment of the Roman Empire, the state of the Warring States reign lasted for hundred years. In the Kingdom of Arkrest, the founding king said that the unification was peaceful compared to the Romar Empire, but it is said that here a hell picture that washed blood with blood was drawn in the middle.

"I was studying history as well. When the founding emperor started the war, most of the people in the southern region were traversed during the war with the founding emperor. I was afraid and slowed down ... "

"I'm still happy with the tribes participating in the Seven Tusks. The farther south we go, the more miserable stories roll around.

The appearance of the land, equivalent to more than 80% of the current Romal Empire, was finally settled in the hands of the founder of the Romal Empire.

Until then, they would snatch lands from other tribes that had been interacting with the empire, attack them in such a way as to pinch their ancestors' ties with the empire, and be chaotic, random and unlimited. ''

"It's hard to say in words, so what happened before the founding war, and when the founding war became more important?"

"That's what it was. Even after the southern end was finally conquered, the empire was lost because the tribes were too slow to lend power. The losing responsibilities and justification for the reasons they just couldn't.

It would have been a bit calm for a couple of hundred years, but I thought I could have cooperated to get this happening ... "

Nessa sighed deeply. The struggle, frustration and pressure that had hit her shoulders before was a sigh that was still compressed. This sigh seems likely to be the reason why the battle against the Empire has been depolarized shortly after the southern revolt.

"It is now that all ethnic groups and races have stomped under their banners and have come up with what they are thinking about, so that the southern people have forgotten the ancient connection. `` It's a mess, and they're turning their blades at each other, not at the empire. ''

"that is……"

Nessa distorted her lips in a terrible way, as Amria couldn't pass on her two words. Even if the former connection is rekindled, it must be at least after the Romans have been incapacitated for a long time.

But did he think it would not be possible to fulfill his plan to take the initiative after the war by using the martial arts in the war against the Romar empire?

"Especially annoying is Leonius, who holds the great powers of the lions. The lion is the king of the beasts, but he's an arrogant man who multiplied the arrogance of the human race. .

The trouble is not just the mouth, but the individual's strength and environment to do just that. He is the strongest I know. I know that habit, where I can put up in troublesome places.

Now I'm waiting for you now and now that those who aren't following him will lose to the empire and cry. He's really rotten. ''
